Produktbeschreibung

Looking for a real-life inspirational read? Look no further than Thirteen Broken Biscuits.

Born into poverty in the early 1950s in Manchester, the author's childhood was tough to say the least. The family survived on Dad's small earnings but when he tragically passed away when the author was just thirteen years old, leaving behind a pregnant wife and eleven children, their struggles escalated.

At sixteen, he signed up to the Merchant Navy and his love affair with the sea began. He travelled the world, almost started a new life in New Zealand (before the police caught up with him) and broadened his horizons more than he would ever have dared dream of in his dark schooldays.

More than fifty years on, he has overcome many challenges. From working in the offshore industry in the North Sea to setting up his own successful businesses, gaining a photography degree and a Master's in Creative Writing (despite being diagnosed with severe dyslexia) and becoming a front-line worker battling COVID-19 since 2020 - he shares a plethora of stories in this funny, heart-breaking, emotional and entertaining memoir.
